Shoreham, NY – Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and Councilwoman Jane Bonner have announced the completion of a substantial, 10-road paving project in the vicinity of Miller Avenue Elementary School in Shoreham.

The total cost for this paving project was approximately $873,850. Crews replaced and installed 8,100 square feet of aprons, 11,276 square feet of sidewalk, and 6,450 linear feet of curbing. In addition, new handicap ramps were installed and a turning lane was created on the north end of Miller Avenue at the intersection of North Country Road.

Superintendent Losquadro said, “This project was coordinated to coincide with construction of the parking lot at Miller Avenue Elementary School. We successfully completed the paving and re-striping of Miller Avenue just in time for school to resume last week. In addition to Miller Avenue, several of the residential roadways in this paving project were in severe need of replacement. I am glad to provide some relief for residents, motorists, teachers, and staff in the Shoreham-Wading River school district who travel these roadways on a daily basis.”

Councilwoman Bonner said, “Under Superintendent Losquadro’s leadership, more roads and infrastructure improvements are being completed by the Highway Department, making roads safer for everyone. Before he took office in 2013, too many projects languished for years, but now the backlog is being addressed as it should be. I thank him and all the men and women of the Highway Department for the great work they do in my district and throughout the Town.”
